I'm Back

Hello everybody. (I was going to say "Good Morning" but it may be afternoon where you are, or afternoon when you read this so I stuck with "Hello"!)

Sorry I've not been on here recently. I've been looking after my father who had a stroke last year. My mum went to a wedding in Estonia and he couldn't make it so we've been living up there and they don't have the internet.

However, I've not been idle. I took Celtic Winter up with me and have been working away on that and I've also completed parts 3 and 4 and started part 5 on How Does Your Garden Grow. So HDYGG now looks like this:-

I was a little worried about doing the rhodes hearts (the yellow bits in the strip that goes across). I have been reading Rachael's blog and she said she struggled with them and has given up. I've always admired Rachael's work (especially her hardanger) so I was worried that if she struggled so would I. I did have to frog the first one a couple of times but I got there eventually and the others seemed to flow from there.

About Me

I'm 24601! No, not really, I'm 45 and a mother of two teenage girls. I love crossstitch and playing the Sims so my spare time gets divided between the two. I'm also trying to get fit (yet again). Sometimes I stitch a lot, other times progress is very slow. I tend to stitch large designs which means finishes are far and few between, but for me the fun is in the stitching rather than the finishing. Please join me for the ride.
